Login or Sign up Product DetailsWhen the Gulf War broke out, several card companies produced sets looking at the major players, weapons and technology involved in the conflict. However, none made a bigger splash than Topps. 1991 Topps Desert Storm trading cards span a total of three sets. Today, they're a cheap trip back to a major moment in modern history. Totaling 264 cards and 44 stickers, 1991 Topps Desert Storm cards aim to explain what happened, albeit through a patriotic lens. Background, technology and key figures in the Gulf War are all part of the checklist. Some of the notable politicians and military minds in the set are President George H.W. Bush, Colin Powell, future Vice President Dick Cheney, Norman Schwarzkopf, Saddam Hussein and Mikhail Gorbachev. The set also goes deep into many of the weapons, jets, aircraft carriers and other military details used by coalition forces. Because they were so widely produced, 1991 Topps Desert Storm trading cards remain easy to find. For the most part, they're also extremely affordable as well. Don't expect these cards to be worth much in the future from a monetary standpoint. They're probably best used as an interesting secondary source for exploring the Gulf War. 1991 Topps Desert Storm Series 1 - Coalition for PeaceThe first series of 1991 Topps Desert Storm cards kicks things off with 88 cards and 22 stickers. When they first came out, the cards created quite a buzz. In particular, the first card in the set, President Bush, was very popular. Like all three series, card fronts have a brown camouflage border. The caption box on the front is green. The first series card backs are the plainest of the three sets. They have thin red ribbons with stripes along the top and bottom with the Desert Storm logo fading into the background. The 22 stickers are double what the other two series have. They feature different mottos and icons.  For those looking for variations, the first series cards also come with brown text on the logo on the front. Factory sets were also sold. These cards have a glossy finish. Printed on white card stock, the backs are noticeably brighter as well. They're similar to Topps Tiffany sets produced for sports sets. 1991 Topps Desert Storm Series 2 - Victory SeriesSeries 2, dubbed the Victory Series adds another 88 cards. Card numbers run from 89 to 176. Unlike the first release, there are no major variations to chase. The orange nameplate on the front is a giveaway the card is from Series 2. Card backs use a flag motif. Thick blue outer borders have big stars. The text box in the center uses more flag-inspired graphics to hold in the description and card number. The 11 Series 2 stickers are of the flags of coalition forces as well as one for the United Nations. 1991 Topps Desert Storm Series 3 - Homecoming EditionSeries 3, or the Homecoming Edition, closes out 1991 Topps Desert Storm with a final 88 cards. These have a yellow box for the caption on the front. Backs have a red outer border and a striped blue ribbon with a star along the top. The number bleeds into the stripes. Stickers are a mix of medals and slogans. Set Checklist1991 Topps Desert Storm Trading Cards ChecklistBase Set ChecklistSeries 1 - #1-88; Series 2 - #89-176; Series 3 - #177-264.
